You are pretty naive and don't know how to stop when you are ahead, so here is the whole county. Greenville County(pop. 430k+) median income $47k+ While Richmond County(pop. around 200k+) is only around $37k+. Nothing to miss there. We have too many high income areas to list, look them up yourself. Do the math. More people higher median income= Greenville is richer. Which is part of the reason it has more.

Most people that come here transfer with their jobs or own there own business. Do some research man. You're not being smart. Look it up. The reason you do this is because the facts are pointing things out to you and you don't like them.

Let's say a guy from a different area gets a job here that is newly created and he has two kids along with a wife that move with him. That one job equals four new people in the area. Isn't math amazing? And the Augusta people think we're uneducated? Also, there are transferred jobs too which don't equal new ones.

I'm not sure what you mean by the brother thing, but I'm pretty sure of who will get it but can't reveal my resources.

You're making a fool out of yourself.

Oh and last night's attendance at the Drive game was 5,887. Thursday's attendance was 4,852. Proof: greenvilledrive.com: GVDrive News (Bottom of the page) Tonight's game is sold out. Tomorrow's game only has a few seats left: greenvilledrive.com: GVDrive News So much for not being able to afford it. This is in a stadium with 5,000 seats.

This is good to know because there is talk about building a new ballpark in Augusta on the river in downtown. I think this is a good idea, but I am not sold on the idea of the taxpayers building it.. and from what I have sensed there is not much support for a taxpayer funded ballpark.. So Augusta leaders need to figure out how Greenville was able to get their ballpark built with no taxpayer money... that is the way to go. I don't have a problem with them getting the land for free, but if Greenville was able to get a new ballpark at no expense to the taxpayers then Augusta should be able to do the same.

Yes, 50 high-paying jobs per year. That's something to brag about. All Augusta has is hundred of low-wager jobs.
